So, do the course in the sea, make sure that the rescue diver and surface support are members of staff and the air fills are from your shop compressor.
Run the course for four divers or more at a time and then justify charging £80-£100 for what is nothing more than a pool session and a couple of escorted dives when done to the minimum requirement.
You will always struggle to make money on your own because you are paying someone else for facilities and back-up, and theat is the reality of commerce, but those with the resources *could* do it cheaper (and some do, to prove the point)
I think the general disenchantment is the whole philosophy of the "PADI Speciality". To think that you have to show a bit of plastic/stamp to say you have done the Drysuit sepciality when, as Andy said, some folks are even taught it as part of OW is a bit galling! |
